SPARKLE is a Bestseller on Amazon!

Phew!

To say these past few days have been a whirlwind would really be an understatement. Upon SPARKLE's early release, I have been living and breathing this book! Much to my surprise SPARKLE climbed right on up to the #1 spot on Amazon's Bestseller list in the Happiness category within hours of it's release. I could not possibly be more grateful for every single person who has supported my dream. Everyone who bought the book, retweeted the link, shared on Facebook, and was there for me as I nearly melted down through this very arduous (yet exhilarating) processes - THANK YOU. You have helped me live out my dream.

To those who want to check out the book, we're working on getting Amazon's "Search Inside" feature up, but in the meantime, check out this synopsis. Gorgeous design by Cara Loper of Loose Lid Creative! Click the link if you are looking for someone to design your book cover or marketing materials - she is fabulous.

The Little Book That Could

You know that saying, "We make plans and God laughs?" Well I bet God, and all of the little sparkle fairies up in heaven are having a BALL with this one!

Never a dull moment in the world of indie publishing. I researched, prepped, and anxiously gulped red wine in an attempt to calm my nerves over the past few months to time the release of my first book, SPARKLE, perfectly. Arranged for press, radio interviews, launch parties, all meticulously in line with the magical date of Tuesday, October 9. The date I obsessed over for the release of this book that I spent FOUR YEARS working on.

And guess what? I logged into my Amazon account this morning and saw that not only was it available now, but it had been selling copies like CRAZY! Someone started the party without me! I am learning (quickly) that I can't control everything, so I'm rolling with this one and counting down the hours until I can responsibly pop a bottle of champagne (the second I escape from my office).

Not only am I dealing with the shock of my book being released a month early, but it's ranking in the TOP 100 in Amazon's "Self-Help ---> Happiness" category! At 11 am this morning, SPARKLE was #39 in the category, and is also being featured as a "Hot Release!"

I just want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who supported this project. I started this book four years ago, and had no idea where it would lead me. I feel so blessed and lucky to have found myself in a place where I am happier and more fulfilled than I ever thought possible. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it and bringing it into the world.

With so much love and gratitude,

Cara
